MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I haven’t updated on this blog for a while so on this post I’m going toroundup all the things I have done between now and my last post.

12/11/16

The 12th of November was my 10thbirthday and it just so happens that the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) was having their 25th Anniversary cake cutting on the same day! And since they are quite famous they got the PM (the Prime Minister) to cut the cake! And since it was my B-day they got me to cut the cake with him! If you are one of my close friends then you have probably heard this story before.

On the 4th of December the Kids Committee had a christmas party where we played games, had christmas lunch and of course made art. It was really fun and if you have an arty family I recommend that you join the Kids Committee in 2017.

On the 20th of December my mum, my mum’s friend’s family and I went to the Sydney fireworks at Darling Harbour. They looked very arty with all the lights and the water below.

I hope you enjoyed today's post. Wishing you all a very merry christmas and a happy new year,S.

Hi everyone! Last Sunday my mum and I went to the MCA for a Kids Committee meeting about the Family Tours of the exhibition Today Tomorrow Yesterday and to try the Family Space that is based on a new exhibition called Tatsuo Miyajima: Connect With Everything. Tatsuo Miyajima is the first exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere for this artist. It's about numbers counting down from 9. At the end of it, it left me wondering.

In the Family Space there is a room which has white circles on the floor that you jump on and when you jump on them they make a sound and draw a line on a screen and if you jump on them a lot the lines form a big prism. At a particular point the room goes dark and the white circles turn into lily pads and a recording of a guided meditation comes on and if you move on the lily pads they change colour but if you stay still they stay the same. In another room there is a magnet board where you can arrange magnets to create numbers and there is a camera that takes a picture of the magnet board every 9 seconds and plays the pictures really fast to make a stop motion film. In the same room as the magnet board there are tables where you can make light drawings by punching holes into a black circle of paper and you can contribute your light drawing to a shadow constellation by hanging it up with everyone else’s in a hallway near the room or you can take it home. And if you want to find out about the Family Tours or you want to book for one (if the tickets haven't sold out already) go here.

I recommend going to TodayTomorrow Yesterday.

I hope you liked this week's post. See you next time, S.

PS. I'm one of the two voices that you might hear for this exhibition on the MCA app!

Hello creators!!! Two weeks ago my mum and I went to a tour of the new exhibition Today Tomorrow Yesterday at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art). At the exhibition there was an artwork called Untitled (Clock)2014 which was a big clock that went twice as fast as a normal clock. Also you could see how it works at the back of it and there is a small globe turning at the back as well. There was another work called Minyma Punu Kungkarangkalpa (Seven Sisters Tree Women)2013. Itwas made by seven women living in the Tjanpi Desert. It is made out of bound grass, raffia, fencing wire, feathers and wool. In it there are seven figures. The figures are half tree half women.

Ahoy there!!! On Sunday my mum and I went to the MCA for a Kids Committee meeting. First we went through the new exhibition, Today Tomorrow Yesterday, and the leaders asked us questions about the artwork. There were two people recording our answers to put onto wall labels. If you don’t know what wall labels are, they are the little white squares that are next to artworks in an art gallery. And the recordings will be on the MCA app that you can listen to as you go around the exhibition.

Hello! I’m back! I haven’t been posting on my blog lately because I have been working on something special. It is a kids magazine!!! This magazine is called Kids News, and I made it! It has got stories, activities, articles and so much more! And here it is.

I hope you like my kids mag (feel free to print it out!). Goodbye for now, S.

I’ve realised that I haven’t posted for a few weeks now and also that I haven’t done many links to things you can try at home. So today I have picked three different things you can try at home to do with nature (I hope to try these this term). And here they are. They are all from the My Place website.

I have been coding games and animations on the coding website called Scratch.

The thing I have been working on on Scratch is a selection of animal drawings I have drawn on the computer. You can do lots of things on this website like animations, games, stories, make art, music or just look at other people's work.

I have learned a lot of things from Scratch and I really recommend it (Mum note: Scratch still needs some supervision since it’s a public forum. However, you can download the free program to work offline.)

Thanks mum. Anyway, that’s all for this week’s post. See you next time, S.
